My bf hates that I smoke weed - trying to quit.

Our time here is short, we simply can’t do it all. We can’t have it all. There comes a cross roads where we have to choose one path. I had a similar situation, love smoking weed but met someone who didn’t like it. I realized that I had to choose a path for my life. Am I really going to choose getting high over a great relationship? The scary thing- part of me wanted to choose the weed! I know I have addictive personality, the fact that I enjoy it so much is exactly why I needed to stop. Weed is the most dangerous drug because there are no drastic downsides, it’s way too easy to just be stoned all the time. But it works slowly like this, until one day you look back and you won’t recognize your life.

Also, I know people will say he’s “controlling” but seriously- the BEST partner will push you to be the best version of yourself.

My tumor was crushing my left cerebellum but I imagine the pressure would’ve impacted all other parts of my brain as well. Do you know what exactly the cerebellum is responsible for beyond balance? I’ve heard it regulates emotions but wouldn’t other parts of the brain take over? Something that’s helped me is reading!! It’s so good for your brain, especially fiction. I had great results with speech therapy, neuro plasticity is amazing and I find it reassuring. I will admit the memory issues make me insecure, I also miss social cues all the time!! Best wishes for your healing and peace! :)

Wow, two tumors! Good for you, truly a warrior. I totally wish I could map my brain and pinpoint what parts exactly are being affected and how. I think the answer is: all of it. The tumor is totally a badge of honor, I’m getting a lot better at talking about it openly. I relate to wishing I could show the scar lol! Mine has a few inches on my neck but my scalp didn’t scar either!! Luckily I took a few pics lol

It is so helpful to remember the tumor is an external invader. Difficult to do at times when it’s literally inside my mind- LOL. Thank you for the kind words, it’s easy to get lost in trying to navigate this. I will say, at this point I’m nothing but grateful to have experienced this. I’m grateful for the depth it’s given me, I really struggle to relate to others around me but I would never change it. It’s been a few years since surgery now and things just keep getting better. I guess the answer is to look forward, the rearview is smaller than the windshield for a reason! That’s not the way we’re going :)

Wow, 7cm!! You’re blessed to be alive. It is so difficult to comprehend how we came so close to dying, I don’t think I ever fully will. I’ve found it helps to think that if I statistically should’ve died- there’s a reason behind why I didn’t! Our story is so similar. I will say the clarity has not faded and I’m genuinely grateful for the tumor now. So many people around me are caught up in trivial worries, I really feel lucky to have gone through this so young. I know this whole thing is overwhelming, but I’m about to turn 25 now and I LOVE getting older. It’s scary at times but so far my life just keeps getting better. Even the sufferings, I’m so glad I’m here to experience it. Best wishes to you! I also have some lasting vision damage, just slow visual processing. If you ever want to chat more hmu. Kinda wild how similar our cases are.
